WEIGHT LOSS CHALLENGE - 7 Weeks-10#'s

[NoNo]

Don't stress out. When I was on WW, I found that occassionally if I gorged and went off my normal diet, I'd actually lose more weight. I've read that your body adjusts to what you give it, and that sometimes if you give it more, it works extra hard to burn it off. So hopefully you'll be pleasantly surprised the next time you step on the scale!

As for me, I'm doing my best to avoid the free, mega-delicious brownies that are in the conference room right now. Man, I love those brownies....

No worries, liza. I've got about the opposite problem. I had a project for class due today and didn't sleep at all last night, don't think I've eaten since about 8:00 pm yesterday because if I have anything in my stomach I will want to go to sleep. I'm about to go to class and I have to work afterwards, so it will have been roughly 32 hours without sleep by the time I go to bed tonight. Sucks, but it's just part of college life. You're doing fine, and in a couple of days you'll feel good as new.

Finally. 152.5 (down 2 pounds). It has been a very stressful week. I lose under stress.

If only the rest of a diet was as easy as the first few days . . .But I know I can keep it going; I lost 20 lbs. 8 months ago, and managed to keep those off til now. Just have to finish up the last fifteen I didn't take off back then.

My motivation's still up there, have been doing good. Scale's down a pound, but I can feel a period coming on, so I'm not going to worry about weight too much for the next few days.

On Weightwatchers online, when you post a weight and it's higher than the previous week, you get an automated reply giving several reasons why the weight might be higher. It doesn't include "Bet you're on the rag, don't stress it." It should!

Thanks for the cyberhugs posted by a couple of you.
